Fuse trailer zaps out, a little late
by Alice O'Connor, Sep 14, 2012 1:00pm PDTThe big and somewhat overblown reveal that Insomniac's first multiplatform game Overstrike is now renamed Fuse should've been accompanied by a trailer, but a mysterious legal rights issue kept publisher EA from releasing it on schedule. With that resolved, the trailer's now out for your viewing pleasure, with snippets of in-game footage showing off your squad's flashy tech powers.
As our Ozzie explained in his preview, the squad-based shooter formerly known as Overstrike's four team members each have tech powered by the unstable alien substance 'fuse.' It can power a handy shield or, put in a gun, it can crystallise enemies, melt them, and suck them into black holes.
Fuse is due on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in March 2013. Compare this to Overstrike's announcement trailer and you'll see the squad's abilities have changed a fair bit since E3 2011:

This trailer showed me what the changes did to this game. The colors were lost, all the characters wear a standard grey uniform. The humor is gone judging from the serious tone of this trailer. The weapons are still there I guess...
It's like they pulled a reverse Borderlands. Borderlands was serious and brown and grey and they made it colorful with plenty of humor and that worked because it's a breath of fresh air from all the apocalyptic stuff.
Overstrike was funny, bright and colorful. It transformed into Fuse: a grey, brown and serious shooter in a sea of grey, brown and serious shooters.
